"The Free Booking Service provided by ACA is by far the best booking service that we have used. That in itself provides great value for the annual membership fee... Through the ACA Booking Service we have acquired many new group bookings, some of which have turned into regular bookings."

"The ICDC Course is an opportunity to gain knowledge from a diverse, passionate, sharing, supportive, empowering group of individuals... I would highly recommend this course."
